Hu Bi and Ye Ling'er are both resolute and decisive people who don't like procrastination. After Zhu Yunwen finalized the strategy, it only took three days to come up with a specific plan and draw up the first list of academicians, which included three hundred academicians. Twenty-seven people. .qgν.
Zhu Yunwen was not stingy, and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to include those who should be included in the salary system, give houses to those who should be given houses, and help with household registration and moving.
The establishment of the Ming Science Research Institute marks that Ming's scientific research system is finally reaching perfection. It also provides scientific research talents with a stable research environment, where they can conduct various research without distractions.
Zhu Yunwen increased the number of scholarships and poverty grants to the Imperial College, and required each college to set up its own talent pool. In February, he went to the Imperial College in person to issue academician certificates, solemnly announcing: "Academicians are the highest scientific talents in the Ming Dynasty. They do not need to salute when they meet officials, regardless of whether they are civil or military." May you open up a new world of knowledge and become a pioneer for those who come after you!"
The days began to become dull, and the Ming Dynasty was like a train, moving forward with a bang, and it was boring.
It was in these boring days that Ming Dynasty's various undertakings continued to develop, and business did not collapse due to the adjustment of inheritance taxes and floating tax rates. On the contrary, with last year's bumper harvest, the imperial court officially set a protective price for grains. After that, the purchasing power of the people was further improved, and the foundation of commercial prosperity was not shaken. On the contrary, it became more and more prosperous.
Zhu Yunwen went among the people and discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, people's preference for storytelling is indistinguishable from their preference for drama. Whether it is a drama stage or a storytelling teahouse, there are always many people, even storytellers who work alone. There are actually combinations in the industry, taking turns...
No matter God gave him face or not, Zhu Yunwen unwaveringly transferred all the remaining disaster preparedness funds from the previous year to water conservancy construction. As the construction technology of cement concrete and dams gradually matured, Zhu Yunwen put forward the requirement to build more reservoirs. Especially in areas where droughts and floods occur frequently, reservoir construction and ditch construction must be carried out.
After three months of private visits in private and celebrating the harvest with the people, Zhu Yunwen returned to the palace.
But he fell ill shortly after returning.
People from Tai Hospital and Medical College gathered in Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yunwen's high fever kept coming one after another, and he couldn't go away. No matter whether he was physically cooling down or taking medicine, he was not getting better.
I used the Imperial Academy's thermometer to measure it and found that the fever was over 40 degrees at one point, which made everyone nervous. Zhu Wenkui was waiting on the side with no clothes on, and Ma Enhui sat guarding by the bed.
Sheng Yin, Kuang Yu and other miracle doctors were also a little helpless. It was obviously a simple cold, but why did the high fever always go down a little and then swoop back up, getting more and more violent every time.
Zhu Yunwen only felt hot and cold. When he was cold, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and was shivering. No amount of quilts were enough. When he was hot, he felt like sitting around a stove, feeling almost burned.
Apart from hot and cold, they are just unconscious words.
Cabinet ministers Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Tie Xuan and others were anxious and guarded the door day by day.
Zhu Yunwen rarely got sick, but when he did he got very serious. It was the same this time. He had a high fever for three days before he woke up. Facing Ma Enhui, Zhu Wenkui and others who were crying constantly, he said weakly: "It doesn't matter, I'll be back soon." I won’t go to Taizu.”
After a serious illness, Zhu Yunwen lost a lot of weight and developed a cough, which seemed to have damaged his lungs.
After resting for a while, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Yunwen summoned the cabinet ministers and officials of the Sixth Department, the Fifth Army Commander's Office, and the Navy Commander's Office civil and military officials in Wuying Hall. Looking at the veteran minister who had been with him for more than ten years, Zhu Yunwen coughed. He coughed and said with a smile: "They say long live the emperor, but according to my opinion, there is no long-lived emperor in the world, and there is no emperor who is a thousand years old. There is not even one who lives for more than a hundred years. The South Vietnamese King Zhao Tuo can only be regarded as a king."
"Although I am only thirty-eight this year, after an illness, my health is no longer what it used to be. The sky is unpredictable, and who knows if I will be able to survive the next illness..."
When Xie Jin heard this, he quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, please don't say such frightening words. Your Majesty is in your prime, and you will definitely recover as before!"
Xu Huizu was also a little scared. How could such a good Zhu Yunwen
He felt like he was about to give his last words, and shouted: "The Emperor must not be sad, as long as you take good care of him, the dragon body will heal on its own!"
Officials such as Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Zheng He, and Li Jian all came forward. .bμν.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said seriously: "Looking at other dynasties, the rise and fall of the dynasty is closely related to the emperor's ability. The emperor is clear and promising, has important and virtuous ministers, and stays away from villains. I dare not say that the age is prosperous, but the country is peaceful and the people are safe. But if the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, Tao, if you build large-scale construction projects without caring about the life and death of the people, and ignore the sufferings of the people, then the people will not be able to live, and the country will be in danger."
"After much thought, I decided to move the palace to the East Palace in three steps in order to ensure that the successors would be strong in politics. In this first step, the East Palace will supervise the country and take civil and state affairs as the criterion. The emperor should be in his thirties after the prince comes of age. Give him the right to supervise the country and govern the country for three to ten years. During the period when the East Palace supervises the country, he is not allowed to interfere with any military affairs, and is not allowed to make friends with any palace guards, or make friends with any distinguished generals."
"The cabinet and the six ministries assist the East Palace to supervise the country, test their abilities, and test their nature. If they have no ability to govern the country during the period of supervising the country, let alone the ability to make decisions between right and wrong, they will not distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and will not be able to see the right and the wrong. Fundamental. We should report to the emperor and replace the crown prince. In the future, when the Ming Dynasty chooses an heir, the eldest son will be the first heir, but he will never be the only heir. Those who are incompetent will not be able to be the king."
Yang Shiqi, Xu Huizu and others looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock. These words were a bit too shocking.
The eldest son inheritance system that had existed for more than a thousand years was shaken to its core by Zhu Yunwen. Although Zhu Yunwen still supported the eldest son inheritance system, he rejected its uniqueness.
This means that the second prince, third prince, fourth prince, etc. can all be qualified to be emperor while the eldest prince is still alive. This is likely to lead to a fight between princes.
But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is not very likely, because when the prince was supervising the country, the emperor was still there, and the emperor controlled the situation. The emperor still had the final say on who should go up and who should go down. Which prince wanted to fight or wanted to fight might not be Able to fight and move. What's more, when the eldest prince reaches adulthood, the other princes may not be adults yet. How can they fight with the eldest prince when they haven't grown up yet...
Zhu Yunwen continued: "Of course, in order to ensure that there is no infighting among the princes, when other princes reach the age of eighteen, they are sent to the Jinling Imperial College for further study and are not allowed to interfere with court affairs. There are no staff officials or mansions for them. As for the second step of moving the East Palace, it is to lead the troops. After passing the imperial examination, the prince is allowed to lead the troops of the Beijing Army's Outer Guards, go out of the capital for military preparation training, and lead the troops to the grasslands, to the desert, to the sea, and to the mountains. !」
"The Ming Dynasty monarch does not necessarily have to be a brilliant commander, but he must know how to lead troops, know the basics of marching and fighting, and have the spirit of bloody courage and the courage to fight! He must dare to drive his horse forward and brave the wind and waves. Only in this way can we Drive the Ming Dynasty toward unprecedented prosperity!"
"As for the third step of moving the East Palace to the palace, that is, I will hand over the Beijing army and personal guards to the prince, hand over the great treasure to the prince, and announce the abdication of the throne to the world. The prince will enter the Fengtian Palace and ascend the throne. The East Palace will be moved to the palace in three steps, and the East Palace will be the first to supervise the country. In charge of government affairs, the outer hall governs the outer guard station, and then the Fengtian hall controls the personal guards of the Beijing army, and controls the world! The emperor personally controls, the prince personally acts, and hundreds of officials assist him in civil and military affairs. The world is united to ensure prosperity and prosperity, and to extend the country. Thousands of years!"
